Question
Can a 2-year-old drink mountain mint tea? The child seems to have excessive heart fire, with excessive eye mucus and hard stools. How about past treatment and its effectiveness? Can the child eat something lighter? What kind of help is needed? Is it okay for the child to drink mountain mint tea?
Answer
Although mountain mint tea is a good fire-clearing beverage, due to the incomplete development of the digestive system in a 2-year-old, drinking it directly may cause discomfort such as indigestion and vomiting. It is recommended to give the child some vegetable juice or fruit juice, which are lighter drinks, to help reduce the heat. In terms of diet, it is advisable to let the child eat lighter foods, avoiding overly greasy and spicy foods to reduce body heat.
